    Reduction System for Gate-opener motor

    Oh got it. Fnet = Fpin - Ffr The frictional force is Ffr = 600 Kg * 9.8 m/sec2 * 0.1 Ffr = 588 N My desired speed is 0.33 m/sec and assuming a time of 4 sec to achieve it; a = ∂v/∂t = 0.33 m/sec / 4 sec = 0.0825 m/sec2 Now, the net force, which is the force what drives the gate to that...

    Reduction System for Gate-opener motor

    3DDave, thanks for your post. The idea is to determinate the force (work) needed to accelerate the gate at the desired speed. you told me the following: F = m * a --> where a = ∂v/∂t F * t = m * change in speed; now, this change in speed is from 0 - 0.33 m/s? Now, from my calculation F =...

    Reduction System for Gate-opener motor

    I've been studying this topic for a couple of days now. I started by asking some questions regarding output Torque and gear ratios relations. Now I came with the whole picture and some calculations that I been working on. My goal is to find out if I'm in the right direction, and also point-out...

    Polymer for spring desing

    I'm looking for some technical advice on a design which I working on. I'm looking for a type of plastic that works for a small spring (Free length of 10 mm and 5 actives coil) with low compression resistance. I'm aware that the plastic must have a higher Young's modulus in order to prevent a...
